When moving or lifting the monitor, follow these
instructions to prevent the monitor from being
scratched or damaged and to ensure safe trans-
portation, regardless of its shape or size.
y
Place the monitor in the original box or pack-
ing material before attempting to move it.
y
Before moving or lifting the monitor, discon-
nect the power cord and all other cables.
y
Hold the bottom and side of the monitor frame
firmly. Do not hold the panel itself.
y
When holding the monitor, the screen should
face toward you to prevent it from being
scratched.
y
When transporting the monitor, do not expose
the monitor to shock or excessive vibration.
y
When moving the monitor, keep it upright and
never turn the monitor on its side or tilt it side-
ways.
y
Avoid touching the monitor screen as much as
possible.
- This may result in damage to the screen or
some of the pixels used to create images.
y
If you use the monitor panel without the stand
base, its joystick button may cause the moni-
tor to become unstable and fall, resulting in
damage to the monitor or human injury. In

Vertical Frequency: In order to display an image, the screen must be refreshed dozens of times per
second, like a fluorescent lamp. The number of times the screen is refreshed per second is called
vertical frequency, or refresh rate, and is represented by Hz.
y
Horizontal Frequency: The time it takes to display one horizontal line is called the horizontal cycle. If
1 is divided by the horizontal interval, the result is the number of horizontal lines displayed per second.
This is called horizontal frequency and is represented by kHz.
